A girl named Madeline.

Yesterday was an exciting day for our team. As usual we went in pairs to share the gospel with students on the university campus, and each team witnessed a student come to Christ!

Lindsey and I went sharing together and we immediately came upon a 2nd year Science student named Madeline. She was super sweet and gentle and open to talking with us. After getting to know her for a little bit we began to talk about spiritual things. Something that she said from the very beginning caught my attention. She expressed how she loved God but felt that something was missing in her life. My heart broke for her as I saw tears in her eyes. I instantly started to pray for her in my head that we would be able to share the gospel with her and that she would accept Jesus' invitation of new life.

We shared the 4 Spiritual Laws with her, which is a tool that Campus for Christ uses to share the gospel.

1) God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life.
2) Man has sinned and is separated from God.
3) Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin and rose again.
4) We need to individually receive Christ as Lord and Saviour in order for us to be able to experience God's love and plan for our lives.

We asked her if she wanted to receive Jesus into her life and she said yes. We have a new sister in Christ! Lindsey and I were both touched as Madeline seemed so sincere and hungry for God's love. She cried, and Lindsey and I couldn't help but be moved and cried as well.

What God impressed upon my heart the most was that he had been preparing this girl's heart. She was ready to receive the gospel. With all the students that accepted Christ yesterday God had already been working in their lives, preparing the soil, and when we met them they were ready to take that huge step of opening the door to their Maker. God is so good, and rich in mercy.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

Please pray for our follow up meeting that we have with Madeline next Thursday at 11:30am.
